Nasty-Plot Move Detail
Nasty Plot is a non-damaging Dark-type move with no power or accuracy attributes to speak of, as it does not deal direct damage. Instead, Nasty Plot sharply raises the user's Special Attack stat by two stages, making it a powerful setup move. This boost can significantly increase the damage output of special attacks in subsequent turns. Nasty Plot is commonly used by special attackers who rely on increasing their offensive capabilities to sweep opponents. It is highly valued in both casual and competitive battles for its ability to quickly elevate a Pokémon's offensive potential.
